WOOMIGA

This place is a hidden gem. The meat quality is top tier. The marinated galbi is SO good and so is the other meats. If you don't want BBQ, they have traditional Korean food that hits the spot. The kimchi jjigae is the best in the NOVA area. Bibimbap galbi has generous portions of meat and is so good. The food is so fresh. The ahjumma is so nice and it really feels like home food.

I don't know why we never checked out this place ever, but we regret not coming by sooner! Our family is pretty picky about Korean food because my MIL made the best Korean food ever. Now that she's gone, we were craving some good hanshik and decided we would try this place. They did not disappoint! It was empty because we came late on a weekday evening, so the owner was very present and hospitable. You can tell she puts a lot of care into the food that goes out. The banchan (Korean side dishes) looked super clean and pretty which is a huge plus! Some places, the banchan and especially kimchi looks like a hot mess, but we were pleasantly surprised with the look and taste of all the side dishes. It seems the recipes of the some of the food were passed down from her grandmother, but I may have misunderstood her. Regardless, the food was delicious! We ordered chadol (brisket), daechang, and makchang with add-on steamed egg and soybean soup that my son absolutely loved! This was too much food for us, but we ordered 3 meats so we could grill at the table. All the meats hit the spot and were so yummy! We might come here over our usual spot, Gopchang Story now. Loved that the makchang was marinated in spicy sauce already, just the way we like it. One tip is to grill the meats yourself (if you know how) because it's going to taste so much better if you grill it the right way. The tip is to make the daechang nice and crispy and makchang cooked thoroughly so it has that nice chewy texture to give you jawlines for days (jk forever double chin gang here, but a girl can dream right?!).The restaurant's interior is reminiscent of maybe 80's/90's Korean days with records and vintage posters decorating the wall. I usually like to peek into bathrooms of places to see how clean they are, but I was too busy to check the bathrooms out here. The restaurant itself seemed a bit outdated but well maintained, which shows it's been around and successful for a long time.

I had a really good meal here for not much $$.The restaurant was eerily empty when I wandered in on a Wednesday night but my order came out hot, fresh, and with 8 types of Kim chee.

Honestly, one of the best restaurants I've been to in this area. My wife and I ordered Sam Gyup Sahl and we loved everything, especially the side dishes. Everything was great quality and delicious. The waitress (who I think was also the manager) was very nice and polite. This is my 2nd time here and it'll be my go to spot going forward.

It was our first time here and it was an AMAZING experience!! Yes, you are first greeted by a robot so that's something unique. But then you are greeted by a human and seated. We went there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't that busy. Yes, the music is a bit loud, but it didn't bother us one bit. If you are sensitive to loud music, this isn't your place to come, but you're going to miss out on some great food and service! We ordered the pork belly and marinated boneless pork ribs and it was just fascinating to watch it be prepared in front of us!! The service was just amazing and everything was explained to us in thorough detail. The side dishes were plentiful! OMG!! You MUST order the AMAZING side of egg since it is so luscious!! Everything was simply amazing!! Can't wait to return!! The robot even returns to collect payment which was hilarious! ;) Sorry, I couldn't post the robot since Yelp only allows 10 pictures per post. :(

If you want authentic Korean food, this is the spot. Food tastes great and the service is spectacular. Surprisingly, it's not super busy so you don't have to wait long for your food. It's tucked away in the corner so it's not super visible from route 50 but it's located right beside Ocean Crab. We got the steamed egg and galbi dolsot bibimbap. I've also gotten their spicy tofu soup and yookgaejang and those were both delicious too!! Ambience wise, you'll notice the crowd is middle aged but that's because you'll truly get the old school Korean recipes here!! The owner is super sweet and friendly. Check them out and tell her you saw Haechung's review!! ;)

The parking lot is on a busy street, so it's honestly a bit confusing the first time you park here. Coming in, you get greeted by a cute little robot waiter (just for payment), but of course there are still human waiters.The dae chang was just... a bit too fatty for my taste. The shrimp tempura had 3 shrimps, 2 zucchini, and 1 potato. I wouldn't say that is worth it, although the dish was crunchy and warm. The bulgolgi was sweet but the meat was cut up too small. The portions were reasonable, and the side dishes were okay. The cucumber tasted a bit old, however.Overall, for the quality of food and given the current inflation, I'd say it is slightly more expensive than your typical Korean bbq place. You'd probably get more value going to Annandale.

First time here today and it was horrible. We asked the server if the drinks had free refills (sweet tea), server told us yes. When we received the bill, we were charged for every drink we ordered. The food was not good at all. We ended up getting the all you can eat, everything that said marinated, wasn't. The meat was very bland or tasted bad. When the server came by to cook for us, instead of removing the already cooked food. He placed the raw meat right on top. Within two hours of eating, all of our stomachs hurt. Felt like we all had food poisoning. Not a great feeling. Not worth the $200 we ended up paying.

The food is ok, not worth the price though.The bonus is there's a dessert bar inside the restaurant. They just opened last week. Worth trying!

Small small portion of u seasoned wet meat. Barely any vegetables. when I called to notify the restaurant, the only thing they had for me was a sorry man. I don't want to sorry I want a refund.!! Awful awful food
